An fMRI localizer of frontal, temporal, and parietal brain regions involved in high-level linguistic processing. The task reliably identifies these brain regions in individual subjects using fMRI, by contrasting neural responses to meaningful and structured language stimuli vs. stimuli matched for low-level properties but lacking meaning and/or structure. In particular, responses to auditorily presented excerpts from engaging interviews or stories are contrasted vs. acoustically degraded versions of these materials.

CONDITIONS
Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.
CONTRASTS
speech vs speech reversed(edit)
| Condition | Weight |
|---|---|
| listening to speech | 1.0 |
| listening to speech reversed | -1.0 |
In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.
INDICATORS
No indicators have yet been associated.
An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
